I lost a dance off with the chief deputy US Marshall for the Southwest today.

My condolences on losing the Southwest to a cop. What region is the prize for the next dance off?

Pennsylvania.

Suck it, SCA freaks!

Apple Talk / They finally made a movie about Tucson.

Check out "Tenet".

The entire movie is basically Tucson interacting with the real world from an outside point of view.

All those people moving backwards?  That's NORMAL.

Been thinking hard about that one. I guess it's mostly Roger. But my overall memory of my interactions is also that I messed it up a lot, got defensive, arrogant and also several times plain stupid. I'm not completely sure how to fix that, but I do want to. I am very much open to suggestions.

Roger's dead.  He was dragged into the jungles of Western New Mexico by wild tamarinds and eaten alive.

Nothing!  We're literally up to our noses in potable water!  It hasn't stopped raining since June 12th.  We all died.

I'm both amused and horrified at my behavior. On one hand: it didn't take long to unravel years of growth and therapy, on the other, I turned back into the heartless monster I was known for. So well that I got myself a perma-ban from Twitter. Don't get me wrong, they totally deserved it, but Twitter also needs to be held accountable for their population of white supremacists they still allow on the platform.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I haven't gone back to FB or Twitter.

I flat out told her that once Jeff was gone, I was taking off and never coming back.

You're never too old to do the Lido Shuffle.

Hi, y'all.

I left Dark Finance.

 

I'm a cook.

You were already a cook.  You made all kinds of frou-frou yet delicious looking things and posted them.  For years.

Last band broke up.

New band is cool: https://badvrb.bandcamp.com/album/ep1

Shall I mark all as READ?

Only if ya wanna be FUCKED FOREVER.

A friend is someone who has not yet had sufficient motivation to throw you under the bus.

Well, that really sucks, and I'm sorry this is happening to you two.

I only met Jeff a couple of times, but I like him a great deal.

Starfleet is just a propaganda op for Section 31, the real armed forces of the Federation.

And I thought *I* was being Captain Sunshine, here.

Yeah, that whole, "I need to take care of myself" vibe has turned into a screaming fibro flare today.

I also really like the part where it went from, "How can I help?" to, "I can't actually help, how long does he have?" Basically, "I want him to die so I am free from this social contract and can just show up for snacks at the funeral."

People are fucking terrible, Dok. You're right.

Most people truly do have an aversion to the suffering of others.

The people worth knowing will deliberately work past that.  The ones that are not worth knowing will do as you describe, or even chastise you for "demanding emotional labor," because THEY'RE the victim here, buddy.

Also, I missed most of this on FB because I got deleted.  I only knew that he was sick with cancer or something.

What's going on?

Yeah, I used to have friends like that.  Then I got the shocking realization that I only have a dozen or so actual friends.  It took a long time to get over being angry at people for not being what I thought they were.  So believe me, I feel you.

The friends you have with you when you are in need are the only friends you have.  The rest are acquaintances.  If you treat acquaintances like friends, you're going to get hurt.

The principal difference is that a friend cares for you as a person, not just a laugh or a good time.

Also:

I've been yelled at about staying in school. I've been yelled at for working. He's my vocation, you see, he's my sole purpose to exist. This "sole purpose" made it perfectly clear I need to continue to work and study and have a life.

The sole purpose is correct in his opinion.  Assuming the worst happens, these same people will then berate you for not working or studying to be able to fend for yourself afterward.

90% of everyone are shitbags.  You can avoid noticing this until one day you can't avoid it.
